Re: how do we stop 49ers vaunted pistol offense?

Hey what's up! This is the basically the gist of what I'm saying. I'll try to keep it reasonable in length.

Both our teams are in very similar positions. We've both faced finesse teams up to this point and this will be the most physical match-up for both teams.

By reading a lot of the comments in this thread it doesn't look like a whole lot of you have watched CK work this year. I don't really hold that against you. The kid's only had 9 starts.

It's not gonna be as easy as. "Just hit him" or "Take away the run". That's not gonna get it done.

In fact that's probably playing right into Jimmy's hands.

So the Broncos are a "finesse" team? And the Pittsburgh Steelers are a "finesse" team? Also, the Bengals with the 6th ranked defense are a "finesse" team? The Ravens play in the AFC North. They are used to playing tough physical defenses.

Dude, your nervous. Why come to a Ravens board? Expect a tight game because that's what you are going to get. FG's will be the difference.. Ravens redzone defense best in football.

Oh man. Nervous doesn't even begin to describe how I feel. Good thing I'm not on the team though.

As for coming to your board. I like to go to opponents boards to get a feel for how their fans feel about the game. I've done it all year. These teams are so evenly matched that it has to make for some pretty good debates.

Just like how Denver's defense was the best in the league and Champ was going to shutdown Torrey. Then, after the Ravens won, Denver's defense and secondary are horrible and Champ bailey should retire.

Re: how do we stop 49ers vaunted pistol offense?

9ers struggled against physical teams this year; Seahawks, Giants, Vikings even Rams. They'll see the most physical of the year next Sunday

Rams games came down to David Akers not being able to make a kick. Which I hope isn't the case come next Sunday.

Giants and Vikings were with Alex Smith so you can throw those out.

The Seattle game was just a flat-out ass kicking. I didn't think we could beat NE and Seattle back to back. But Seattle's a good team, and they're damn near unbeatable at home. Not to mention I'm sure they had some help from their little orange buddies.
